Premium Format Black Widow

[nemenforcer]

Just saw this at my lcs next to ms marvel and spiderwoman and I'm glad I passed. Her face looked real pale. She looks flabby in that suit and I really didn't like the material used. I hope they go a completely different direction if they do catwoman...don't like how this came out and I didn't like how black cat came out.

Your lcs must have gotten some cheap recast or something.

Ughhh I just opened my EX and I am missing the right hand holding the gun.

 

[penfold*david]

I'd expect it wouldn't be much trouble.



I've had that happen once. But since I've gotten to know my UPS drivers, they deliver all my packages at work. A perk of living in a small town.

Curious as to how many people lie that they didn't receive the ex piece just so they can sell it later...

I'm sure you'd have to give your order number so it'd be instantly clear if it was EX or Reg.

I think she means that someone with an EX would say they were missing the extra hand(even though they got one), get the replacement, and then sell the extra one.

Ah !

Well in my case, I am missing a right hand but I got a reg. So I have no right hands but I have two identical open left hands.

For those having an issue getting the stone peg to fit into the base (mine is a replacement body after receiving a broken statue), here is the response I received from Sideshow:

 Use a screwdriver that’s a bit bigger than the hole in the base to bore out the base. (This usually helps if for some reason the peg in the body is bigger than the hole in the base).

 Use a can of air duster to blow out the hole in the base.

 Wipe the peg of the figure just to confirm there is nothing that is getting caught.

 Apply slight pressure when setting the body in.

 Wiggle slightly as your setting the body into the base.

 If the peg sets into the base by this point and the peg is still exposed file the peg down until there is no peg exposed and you are satisfied with the statue.

When attempting slight pressure / wiggling I managed to put a hairline crack in the finish on the base without making any headway on fitting the statue.

I guess this means I am supposed to "file the peg down" and hope I don't cause any further damage. Overall, this seems like a not great option on a statue that I paid $350 for. Thoughts?

I've filed pegs down before. Never would I apply force to make something fit.

 

[Fisherprice]

Yeah I *****ed about my box as well. The corners looked like they had Water damage.
Trust me I would rather not deal with CS and have what I payed for.

I had this problem on my first shipment statue, but maybe not as bad as some of you.
I rocked her, forward and backward, and left and right, until she was about 2 mm from being flush. Held her at the knee and used slow movements
Then I stopped because I was getting nervous about cracking the leg
Now I look at her and she's about 1 mm above the base -- I think she's settling in.

Anyway, I think the problem might have existed on non-replacements as well, maybe to a lesser degree though.

After reading this, I thought about pulling her out of the socket and filing down the peg, but it was such a tight fit going in, I think I'm risking damage taking her out. Good thing she's in her final home, no more boxing her up.

I had to apply some force to get her leg in initially. I had to move her and thus repackage her, and removal and inserting back into the hole in the base was much easier the second go-around.

This seems to be the opposite problem that happened with The Joker, where his base/peg fit was a bit loose.

Congrats! I have my Sweet Pea standing beside my monitor so I'm always staring at it as I type into the keyboard

Anyways, I received my Regular Edition Black Widow last week and with the right boot broken off, I emailed Sideshow and they just emailed me back giving me my options. I opted for the body replacement and now I'm waiting for their 2nd email response. I hope I don't have to wait another week for each response. I know they are busy and all with the Spider Woman fiasco returns and exchanges. So hoping to get a replacement body soon anyways

I got it and took photos with Arnold! I love it!

 

[toysforlife]

^ I see that Arnie's right hand is quickly getting acquainted with ScarJo

Hopefully you'll hear something real soon. I wish you the best of luck, bro!

Awesome pics and Congrats, Hangsangbank!
